What it does
Ride with GPS is a cycling-focused route planning and activity service. It supports route discovery, custom route editing and sharing, turn-by-turn voice guidance, offline maps and ride recording. Mobile navigation is offered for iPhone and Android.
A practical first task is to find a route near the place you intend to ride, then edit it around your starting point. The discovery section includes filters, photographs and route reviews, while the planner supports creating a custom ride.
For navigation, the service describes audible and visual turn cues and downloadable maps. It also lists connections with cycling devices such as Garmin, Wahoo and Hammerhead. Starter provides free route discovery, web planning and recording. Offline maps and voice navigation begin with paid Basic access. The product is centered on cycling, which keeps its mapping and route workflow focused.
